We are professional yoga teachers with 4 years of experience in this field.

Hatha yoga has seven limbs, while Ashtanga yoga has eight limbs. Hatha yoga starts with physical postures and eventually leads to meditation while Ashtanga yoga focuses on self, and then moves to the practice of physical postures.
